US Open 2023: Andy Murray makes it through the first round

Andy Murray makes it through the first round at the 2023 US Open, beating Frenchman Corentin Moutet, the world No. 72, 6-2, 7-5, 6-3 in three sets as Murray struggles to build on earlier days.

Former world No. 1 Andy Murray dreams of rejoining the world's top players, to which he once belonged. From 7.11.2016 to 14.08.2017 he was No. 1 in the world rankings, the best tennis player in the world. But then came the increasing problems with his hip, the premature abandonment of the 2017 season and an odyssey of surgeries and comeback announcements that never wanted to end. The deep fall to No. 839 anno 2018 are the expression of the massive problems and their consequences. But Murray is a fighter and never gives up. Despite all the problems, he has fought his way up to world rank 36 and is aiming for the Olympus.

At this year's US Open, the last Grand Slam of the season, he can once again collect a lot of points and continue to climb. He had to win the first match against the young Frenchman Corentin Moutet. The number 72 could actually keep up with "Sir" Andrew Barron Murray, but Murray had to fight. With his 36 years he is not the youngest anymore and it will be a hard piece of work and needs a lot of strength and luck if he wants to make it into the top 10. Will he succeed?
